It took me forever to save enough money to buy these. I worked for weeks, but now I got them, and I love them! I'm on my way to Muffies for Sunday Game Day. We hang out in her game room, and she gives us snacks. Let's see who notices my sneakers first. Hi there! Welcome to Sunday Game Day! Oh, nice sneakers! I don't even have a pair like that, but I wish I did! Thanks Muffie! Come on! Everyone is downstairs! Biggie and Buster were just starting an air hockey tournament. Hey Arthur! Wow! Love your new kicks! Thanks! Hey everyone! I dig those bright red laces! And the bionic bunny ears on the front? Amazing! I'll tell you what's going to be amazing! My dad's party across fire motors! Daddy said I can have a DJ, a gourmet pretzel cart, and a fashion show. Isn't his party to announce the new cars at his dealership? Yes, my team! But Daddy wants me to have fun too! Okay! You can! You come for kale smoothies already! Oh, no cookies! I'm on a health kick. Besides, these smoothies are delicious! I'll put yours right behind you, Binky. Anybody want to play Sterebal? That game you made up? No, it's time for me to destroy Buster in air hockey. You're on, Binky! I'll play the winner! Buster starts with a strong shot. Take that! But Binky swats it away! Buster says that hook around the table! They're really speeding it up now! And it's in! Bapapapow! Oh, yeah? Well, you feel the strength of my super shot! I... Yeah! You knocked your smoothie over, Binky! On to my new sneakers! You ruined them! What happened? Muffy happened! Muffy, why did you put Binky's smoothie right behind him? And why did you make it green? Hutter? Relax! Relax! Look at my shoes! I worked weeks and weeks to get these and the ruined! I am out of here! And don't follow me! Why is this boat on the stairs? Ha! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no! Who knew that one ball kick could knock over a pinball machine, a wall of board games, and a blender full of smoothies? I've never seen Arthur get so angry! His fists were clenched so tight! Maybe you should apologize! Me? I didn't do anything! It was just an accident! Everyone knows I can't control my super shot? Oh, look! Arthur left his podcasting stuff! It's still recording! Hi, podcast nation! I'll get you back to Arthur on my way home, okay? Maybe everyone should go home! Arthur turned this tape into a disaster! Sorry, Muffy! I'm up here! Look, Muffy! Hi, everyone! Podcast nation! Binky and I are walking up to Arthur's house! Whoa, Buster! Look at that! Oh, Arthur's fence is broken! Like someone snapped the post! Wow! Arthur is even more mad than I thought if he's destroying his own house! Come on! We'll talk with him! Hey, D.W! Why did you make Arthur play in a swamp? What? We didn't do that! Well, he stomped home with green gunk all over his feet! Can we talk with him? No! When he came home, he yelled, I'm never, ever talking to any of my friends again! He really said that? That is a quote! Oh! I guess we'll just see him at school then? Okay! And stay out of swamp, Swear Dose! What's going on? This isn't like Arthur at all! It's like there are two Arthur's! Normal Arthur and super tight fist mad Arthur! I wonder which one is coming to school tomorrow? Hey podcast nation! I'm at school! And everyone is talking about Arthur! And it took Bailey my Butler hours to clean up our game room! And then Arthur went on a rampage and ripped out his own fence! I think it was Arthur who did to the slide on the plate! Maybe with his super mad fist! Who knows what he's going to do next? What who's going to do next? Arthur! You scared us! A time for class! Come on everyone, who we can all go in where we're safe! Safe? Morning, morning, settle down! All right everybody, time to review our vocabulary list! Pens and notebooks out please! First word is gigantic! GI, GA, MT, I say! Come on! Ah shoot! My pen isn't working! But maybe if I shake it! Whoops! Whoa! That was a near hit! Everything okay Arthur? Yeah, my pen was just... It's okay Arthur! Just stay calm! You can borrow one of my pens! Oh thanks Buster! Yeah! Don't get mad Arthur! I'm not mad! Let's start that again shall we? Radiant, R-A-D-I-A-M-T We're in the cafeteria now podcast nation! That's a boring intro Buster! Try this! Pay attention podcast nation! Arthur Reed has become a maness! Did you see him throw that pen at Mr. Ratburn? He could have poked his eye out! Hey! Is that a gun? I'm trying to blow it! Yeah, he's getting a tray! But it looks like it's stuck! And... Oh no! He knocked over all those cafeteria trays! Super mad fist Arthur strikes again! If he keeps acting like this, I cannot invite him to my daddy's party! You have to! It'll really hurt his feelings if you don't! Hey everyone! Arthur! When we were just... You didn't see that! But you're welcome to the table! Yeah! Bye Arthur! And Arthur, here's your podcasting stuff. You left it at Muffies. I was good at asking but then everybody took off. Why is everyone acting so strange Buster? It's more like... You're strange Arthur. What? It's your temper! Everyone is afraid of you! But I'm the calmest person I know! You weren't calm at Muffies House? That was because of my shoes. So everyone's freaking out because I got a little mad at Muffies? A little mad? Arthur, give me your recorder. I am out of here! And don't follow me! Why is this ball on the stairs? Ha! The ball knocked over the pinball machine, the whole game wall, and the smoothies. Oh no! I didn't mean to do all that. And then you ripped out your fence! Through a penit Mr. Rapper and destroyed the cafeteria trays. But everyone is calling you super mad fist Arthur. What? Well... Seeing class Arthur... Buster, wait! I didn't! I guess this is a table for one. Well, that was a bad day. I'm not super mad fist Arthur. I just got mad! Podcast people, what do you do when you get mad? I'm checking my inbox to see what you have to say. When I'm mad, I take two deep breaths and count two four. When I'm angry, I shout, storm, and I do a clothing noise. I stop my feet when I'm mad. When I'm mad, I like going in my room for color. When I'm mad, I listen to music. I make angry faces and I tell my mom that I'm mad. When I get mad, I see what I feel like. Those are good ideas. I guess I got to figure out what works for me. Arthur, dinner! After dinner. Here's some stir fry for you Arthur. Thanks dad. Hey dad, what happened to our fence? Oh, uh, that. I may have bumped into it while I was parking. Sometimes accidents just happen. So how's school Arthur? Fine. My friends were acting a little weird. He's mad at them. The double you. Did you and your friends have a fight Arthur? Not exactly. They spilled stuff on my new sneakers. And he got really mad. When you? Just don't have another meltdown Arthur. I am not having a meltdown. I never have meltdowns. Why am I yelling? Beats me. Maybe I am super mad fissure Arthur. Everybody gets mad sometimes. That's what Mrs Morgan says. This is Morgan, your preschool teacher? Yep. She says it's what you do when your mad that matters. So what do you do, DW? First thing. I'm playing everything on Arthur. Figures. But when that doesn't work, I yell. Wicky, wicky, take me talk. You flip it, you flop it, you floop. Excuse me? I say something really silly. Mrs Morgan says that when you do that, you forget that you're so mad. And that's it? No. I'll give you a timeout and take three deep breaths. Then I feel better. And Arthur, if you do think you overreacted, apologizing never hurts either. Yeah, I guess you're right. Like you said, sometimes accidents just happen. I probably shouldn't have gotten so worked up. If we're talking about things that we shouldn't have done, there are a few projects I can't miss. Hello, Muffy Crosse fire speaking. Hey, Muffy, it's Arthur. I just wanted to say, I'm sorry. I really shouldn't have yelled at you. No, you shouldn't have. And I never meant to wreck your game room. That was an accident. I get it. I get mad myself sometimes. Well, I'm so sorry. Apology accepted. Thanks, Muffy. See you tomorrow. At my party? Sure. But I do not want to see Super Magnifix Arthur, OK? You got it, Muffy. Bye. I knew. Podcast people, you're not going to believe this. The kill smoothie did not ruin my new sneakers. The smoothie just dried and then it kind of crumbled off. They look brand new again. Just in time for Muffy's party. Welcome to the Crosse fire motor's new carbonanza. The tire bounces by the luxuries today. The gourmet hot pretzel booth is open with pretzels shaped like steering wheels. And my beautiful bumpers-mash-and-shout with starting soon. This party is awesome. Anyone want one of those pretzels? Totally. For pretzels, please. Here you go, kids. Thank you. Hey, I want mustard. Hey, Binky. Pass me the mustard when you're... Oops. No. That mustard squirt was epic. It went everywhere. Oh, no. It went right on Arthur's shoes. Again? Seriously? Oh. Winky, wacky, ticky, tacky, flimmy, flimmy, flop. Uh, Arthur? Wait? One. Two. Three. I'm really sorry about your sneakers, Arthur. It's okay. It was an accident. Sometimes accidents just happen. Not again? Here. Look, they're wiping clean. Sure. Oh, good. Arthur, what was that thing you yelled? Something DW told me to do. You're listening to DW now? Just as once. And you can never tell her. You either broadcast people or you're not. You're not. You can never tell her. You either broadcast people. You are here by sworn to secrecy. Wanna go to the tire bounce? Sure. By broadcast people, I gotta go see how high these by-on bunny sneakers make me jump. Here you next time. Let's get my friends on. Come on, get me on. Come on, Buster. Come on, let's go.
